This is a fascinating story about individual action with lots of links to climate change. The thing is, doing _something_ helps most people feel better, whether it's not using plastic or registering people to vote. Action begets action. vox.com/culture/368201…

Major news for NEPA reform! 🚨🚨 Chair Westerman’s discussion draft is out! This is important because the Manchin-Barrasso permitting bill did not address NEPA and this draft may become the basis for House-led bipartisan NEPA reform. 🧵 on what’s in the bill: (1/18)

Automakers kicked off the decade with a flurry of long-term EV sales targets, plus an array of commitments to phase out sales of gas-guzzling vehicles. Many are now back-tracking. Volvo Cars, Mercedes-Benz and Ford Motor Company are among the legacy automakers hedging on their EV strategies

Love reading Kate Yoder on the snafu around Patrick Brown, his disavowing of his own study, and the complicated politics of doing climate science in a polarized world. grist.org/science/patric…

I've been in Southern Georgia for #Helene. The wind and tree damage here is severe and widespread, and it battered an agricultural, impoverished region that's already been hit twice the last year. Many, many people live in remote mobile homes. I have met one person with insurance

Billion-dollar disasters are on the rise. Many blame climate change. But evidence points to a different cause: societal growth and risky development. In today's Climate Lab, explore the scientific debate about why the weather is getting more expensive: wapo.st/3YiJgaz

Important #climate news. Scientists may have solved the mystery behind rapidly rising global methane concentrations. Microbes, not fossil fuels, responsible for accelerating emissions, hinting at possible dangerous warming feedback and raising urgency to reduce human-caused

Reminder that there is approximately $33 billion in grants and direct government funding in the IRA that could rapidly disappear under a Trump administration. Home rebates for electrification -- heat pumps, retrofits, etc -- is a big part of that. climateprogramportal.org/2024/10/25/wha…
